Ongoing Skills Training / Proposal

Hmmm... My gear fails with a "beep!", not a "boom!"... LOL!

I love the idea of flash cards Stuart - JFDI mate. It's the sort of thing you can flick through on deco because you are bored beyond belief and there's nothing else to do. It's also something the GF and I can run through together. It's a skills-topup, nothing more, and a great idea.

Interesting note on taking kit off; I took mine off last weekend and it started to sink. That focused the mind...

Keep in mind that diving in coldwater with drysuit and thick undersuit, this skill will be a lot more tricky than with a lycra/wetsuit in tropical environment.

If you don't have adequate weight on your body and use the rig as part of your buoyancy (i.e. I don't wear weight belt even with drysuit, for example), this skill will be next to impossible.

Surely you just need your buddy to hold you down... preferably on ontop of a sea urchin!

I wouldn't mess around with Matt if I were you. He is bigger and stronger than both of us put together...
